each card represents a player on your Madden Team...and you play against other teams, and the better you do, the more coins you win so that you can buy new cards...

all the Madden stats are on the back of the cards...

it is really pretty genius for hardcore NFL fans, you can create a dream team of your very own and go up against other dream teams...

the only way it would be better is if they had all the players from the past *cough Deion*...then it would be truely fantastic...but there are legal issues there, so they can only use players currently playing in the NFL...

That sounds pretty awesome. I'll have to look into it next time I'm on xbox.
